There is a Caroline Bailey aged 13 on the 1861 census b Hitchin Herts
All b Hitchin except Charlotte
George Crawley 26
Charlotte 34 b Kingswaldon
Caroline Bailey 13
Emma Bailey 11
William Bailey 10
Charlotte Bailey married George Crawley in 1856
So it looks as though you need to find a Chalkley/Bailey marriage

1851 census shows as follows:
Charles Bailey 21
Charlotte 26
Mary A 6 sister
Caroline 3
Emma 1
William 2 wks
Charlotte Wilshere married Charles Bailey December qtr 1850 so Caroline was Caroline Wilshere
Sorry if this appears to be long winded - process of elimination

Quite honestly - I don't know unless Rick can provide Caroline's fathers details from the marriage entry - if there are any in view of what you say about her birth cert
She was b 1848 and the marriage I found was 1847. have you checked for a George Wilshere death between 1847-1850 when she married Bailey

Let's sum up - long winded or not. Suggest you print this off for reference
Caroline was b c1848 in Hitchin and she married Joseph Chalkley
Her son's birth cert in 1876 shows her maiden name as Bailey but there is no marriage on free bmd for Chalkley/Bailey but there is a Chalkley/Wilshere marriage
1861 shows Caroline as Caroline Bailey living with mother Charlotte and stepfather George Crawley. Charlotte only married Crawley in 1856 and Charlottes surname was Bailey at that time
1851 census shows Caroline Bailey with mother Charlotte and "father" Charles Bailey. However - Charlotte only married Charles Bailey in 1850 and her surname was then Wilshere
There is a George Wilshere/Charlotte Logden marriage in 1847. This marriage is on the BVRI and details are as follows:
George Wilshere aged 28 Charlotte Logden Aged 20
31 Jul 1847 Offley Hertfordshire
Husband's Father John WILSHERE
Wife's Father Robert LOGDEN
You can check whether it is the correct marriage by taking any of the following actions:
Buy a copy of the 1850 Bailey/Wilshere marriage cert which will show whether Charlotte was previously married and will show her fathers name (hopefully she wasn't illegitimate)
Check the 1851 census for a George Wilshere with a wife Charlotte - if found - then the marriage is not the right one
If not found - check freebmd/GRO index for a death for George Wilshere between 1847- 1850. However - the GRO/freebmd does not show ages for that period so if there are several entries it could be difficult determing whether it's the correct one
You will note from the 1851/61 census details that Charlotte was b 1825-1827
The 1847 Wilshere/Logden marriage shows her as aged 20 - b 1826/27
1841 census shows a Charlotte Wilshere b 1830 parents Thomas & Mary living in Hitchin
and a Charlotte Wilshire b 1827 parents Joseph & Mary living in Ickleford
I cannot find a Charlotte Logden in 1841 in Herts
